Leon Todd Johnson

*50 copies limited edition* Leon Todd Johnson makes his Past Inside the Present debut with untitled, a three track collection of ambient adjacent instrumental pieces shaped by gentle guitar work, analog textures, and tactile instrumentation. Formerly recording as Airport People, the Indianapolis-based artist has spent years refining a patient, understated approach that feels both immediate and nostalgic.

Each composition balances warmth, restraint, and subtle detail. The music evokes memories that feel both forgotten and newly remembered without leaning on sentimentality, allowing its painterly arrangements and soulful depth to emerge naturally. untitled is a confident introduction to johnson's work on Past Inside the Present and another welcome addition to the growing community of Indiana artists represented by the label, itself proudly based in Indiana.

Written, recorded, produced, arranged, mixed, and performed by Leon Todd Johnson. Instrumentation: electric guitar, bass guitar, synthesizer, orchestral sample manipulations (vibes, harp, celesta, violins, cello, marimba, flute), and Monome Norns + Arc (custom script by ltj). Field recordings captured outside his home in Indianapolis.
